XBC is a good POS coin to mine.If you get a few from poloniex because they are dirt cheap now you can have them staking in 24 hours.XBC has been around a long time and are looking at doing a mobile staking wallet in the near future also so you can mine/stake coins using your smartphone.The wallet also acts as a p2p messaging service.Difficulty is very low at the moment.

No but you may earn bitcoins by mining altcoins and have turned into BTC. Small guide a generous person pm'd me. I mine at nicehash, mostly with Nvidia's. Half are 960, it is simple. You can find all about it here: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=gstartedif you want to mine DASH. But I mine multialgo, get payed in BTC and then buy DASH with it, what I find more profitable. So, you need BTC adress ( Wallet ) to get payments, then download miner ( Nicehash miner ), i.e. read here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner Read that carefully, everything is explained there. ( so download miner from here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases ) take care with your antivirus ( Avast forbid it so it must be under exceptions ) When you start it, put your adress in there and name for miner ( without spaces! ) and do benchmark, wait some time to finish ir and your miner is ready, pres "start" and that is it... Much simpler than few years ago. PM if you need help.... This app will mine off your cpu too.

I think mining PoS coins will not stress your CPU too much. So it is OK to do that. Do not mine PoW coins.

yes you can, but you will only be wasting energy and the lifespan of your computer to get a miserable bunch of worthless altcoins.

yes you can mine with any computer but you will consume energy in vain. You can make more bitcoin with faucets than mining with your pc )

Mining with CPU is going to be at a loss unless "free" electricity then you still are just not making anything. Dual core is nothing in processor power. And even if you have a 32 cor VPS unless you are on promo you won't make anything. GPU's cost so much chances of even paying for GPU is pretty much none with so litle of income. And faucets are pennies per hours. So horrible way to spend your time. Your better off buying 5 dollars of BTC and you likely saved weeks of faucets.

It seems there is little chance of making profit with even GPU now. The cost is too high and there is not many profitable coins.

If you want to mine on your cpu a cryptonote coin and then converting it to bitcoin might be your best bet. However don't expect to make more then a few cents worth unless you use your gpu or a high end cpu.

For cryptonote coin mining, you have to have a powerful CPU, with AES-NI support. Otherwise, it is too slow.

You can mine XMG, that is a CPU only coin. But I am not sure about the coin itself. It might not survive.

Yes you can mine with a dual core but only 10 satoshis or less. You can use faucets for more earnings than mining with your cpu.

That is right in terms of earning. But if you want to support the coin network and the hash rate of that coin is very low, you can use CPU.

I wouldn't waste your resources and try to CPU mine bitcoin. 2016 is the time of ASICs, and a total network hash of 1,056,000 TH/s, there's no way you can mine bitcoin with a CPU and still be in profit. Even if you are given free electricity, free internet and free CPUs, it's just a waste of time. Although you could try mining alt-coins with a powerful graphics card

i think you could mine your bitcoins with that but it would be highly not profitable and it would cost you something

If you know how to undervolt your CPU and underclock it, it will not wrieck your PC. But it is not profitable anyway.

If you mine Monero with that i7, there is not a problem at all. It will get you some shares in the Monero mining.
